Empress Crown
What is an Empress Crown?
Empress crowns are a type of restoration made from glass-supported porcelain materials that do not contain metal and do not block light. As one of the most important techniques in aesthetic dentistry, Empress crowns provide a highly natural and aesthetic appearance due to their ability to reflect light.
Which Teeth Can Empress Crowns Be Applied To?
Empress veneers are primarily used for aesthetic purposes and are generally preferred for front teeth. Due to their high light transmittance, they provide excellent results in these teeth. When necessary, they can also be applied to premolars. However, due to their hard and brittle nature, they are not recommended for molars that endure high chewing forces In such cases, zirconium crowns are a more suitable option.
